American Inventor

Three Hundred Forty Sixth Post: American Inventor

I was studying some math but I just had to take a break to watch American Inventor. I liked three of the four inventions. I didn’t care too much for the board game, but maybe that is because it is hard to present. You would have to play to see if it was fun. I think the bicycle and the catching trainer tie in their rankings. But the best is the car seat. Why? Because it has the most important and practical application. It appears the physics behind it work. What sold me tonight was the commercial. All the other products had complex, morphing graphics and left out the most important part of showcasing the invention. Only the inventor of the car seat went with his own idea and succeed in conveying his message.

Of course invention is the most important area where math and art are one. If your looking for a reason to study both subjects, invention is the answer. Of course math and art aren’t the only subjects. Everything you learn helps in your discovery of new and exciting work.

Creativity and invention is so important that there have been studies on what helps people become creative. There are also studies of the top scientists, artists, and other creative people in different fields. Although it has been studied no one can really explain it. But isn’t that what makes it magical and exciting. Not being able to explain how it is done kind of makes science sound like an art. But maybe what is more important as how we are creative is the act of creativity itself.

But until then... May the CREATIVE Force be with You
